The LightCycler ® 1.5 Real-Time PCR System is an innovative carousel/based thermal cycler platform with fluorescence detection system and high-quality reagents. It was the first system to introduce

* hybridization probes
* true melting curve analysis
* automated absolute quantification
* relative quantification with efficiency correction

PCR occurs in specially designed glass capillaries, which have an optimal surface-to-volume ratio to ensure rapid equilibration between the air and the reaction components. A typical amplification cycle requires only 30 to 60 seconds; an amplification reaction with 30 cycles is usually complete in about 30 minutes. To avoid contamination, the capillary is tightly closed; you do not need to open it at any time during analysis.
The LightCycler® Carousel-Based System has repeatedly set the standard for real-time PCR. It was the first system to introduce hybridization probes, true melting curve analysis, automated absolute quantification, relative quantification with efficiency correction, and more. We are now breaking new ground by offering two different instruments to meet your research needs.

RAPID
In less than half the time required for block cycler PCR, complete a LightCycler® PCR - and analyze it too! (Assay and analysis are complete in less than 45 minutes.)

ACCURATE
Rely on ultra-precise hardware and optimized software to give you accurate and highly reproducible
results.

SENSITIVE
Expect a greater signal-to-noise ratio and fewer unwanted PCR products, due to the rapid cycling of the LightCycler® Instruments.

PROVEN
Trust the instruments that have already given your colleagues thousands of successful experiments.
